10 FOOD FACTS 10 FOOD FACTS

1. Cucumbers are 95% water. Other vegetables high in water are lettuce, celery, bok choy, radish, zucchini, green bell peppers, and asparagus.

2. Pineapple plants can take two to three years to produce a fruit. While pineapple plants can grow only one fruit at a time, some live up to 50 years!

3. Watermelon and bananas are berries, but strawberries are not! A lot of thought goes into classifying fruits and vegetables, and it all has to do with anatomy

4. Fruit salad trees grow different fruits on the same tree! These are called multi-grafted trees and they can grow up to six types of fruit at a time

5. The original carrots were purple and yellow, not orange. The first records show that carrots were purple and yellow until the 1500s.

6. Carrots are sweeter in the winter.

7. Nutmeg can make you hallucinate. A little bit of nutmeg is tasty, but don’t eat too much. In large doses, the seasoning can have mind-altering effects due to a natural compound called myristicin.

8. Rotten eggs float. Worried that your eggs have gone bad? There’s an easy way to find out. Just put them in a glass of cold water and if they float, throw them out!

9. Potatoes are 80% water. You could probably juice a potato, but we’ll stick to mashed potatoes and fries!

10. Food tastes different in an airplane. While flying, you may have noticed that some flavors don’t taste the same as they do when you’re on the ground. That’s because altitude changes your body chemistry and decreases your taste sensitivity....

DID YOU KNOW?

( 15 SHOCKING FOOD FACTS )

1. Honey is the only food in the world that doesn't spoil.

2. Bread is the first snack made by man. Bread is as old as mankind. All other snacks broke out from bread making.

3. Water is the only ingredient in cooking and in baking that is not bought when you are purchasing your ingredients. Water is also the only cooking and baking ingredient that is not even listed among the ingredients in a recipe.

4. You could survive only by drinking breast milk. Breast milk is the only single food that provides all the nutrients that our bodies need.

5. Hot dog is not made with dog, but rather it is made with ground pork, beef or poultry, or combination of them.

6. Avocados don't ripen on the tree. Avocados actually can't start ripening until they are disconnected from their stems.

7. Expiration dates on bottle water have nothing to do with the water. Water can't expire, but the plastic bottles will eventually start leaking chemicals into the water. It won't make the water harmful to drink, but it will make it taste less fresh.

8. French fries originated in Belgium not in France. They are only called french fries, because they are french cut.

9. White chocolate is not chocolate, its name is deceiving, because it doesn't have any components of regular chocolate. It is really just a mixture of sugar, milk, vanilla, lecithin and cocoa butter.

10. Cooking Oil is mostly named according to the ingredient it is made from.

11. Bread, biscuits and cakes are the three most popular snacks in the world.

12. Apples give you more energy than coffee.

13. Salt is the most used ingredient in cooking, while sugar is the most used ingredient in baking, but too much of them, is dangerous to our health.

14. Not eating before bed burn fat. If you eat an early dinner or skip dinner altogether, it increases the amount of fat a person burns while they are sleeping.

15. Cooking is an art, while baking is science.

ISI EWU

Ingredients
1 Goat head
2 teaspoon of Ehuru (calabash nutmeg)

1 teaspoon of edible potash (akaun)
3 cubes of seasoning
2 medium-sized onions
2 tbsps of blended fresh pepper

Note: I
Goat head has a thick bone and comes with a sooth filled skin. Be sure to tell the butcher to scrape and cut into pieces while making sure that essential parts remain whole such as the ear, tongue and the brain. The brain is set aside from the rest of the meat because it is used also as a thickener for the sauce.

Before we cook, be sparing in your use of water, you need little water for the stock.

Method
In a pot, place the meat with the brain included, adding an onion (grated), the seasoning, a tablespoon of pepper, salt, water and allow to boil until the meat is tender.
While the meat boils, slice the other onions into rings, dissolve potash with a little amount of water and sieve.
A while into the meat boiling, take out the brain and place in a small mortar, add the other spoon of blended pepper and mash. When the meat is ready, separate stock from meat.
Pour oil into another dry pot. Little by little, pour potash into the oil and stir with a spatula until palm oil turns yellow and thicken.
Add the mashed brain, the stock of the meat, ehuru, crayfish, and continue to stir until blended.
Place the meat into the mixture and stir. Turn on the heat, until steaming hot.
